Executioner Ninyan

[Lerrasien]

So is this supposed to be a war of attrition or what? I've managed to keep teleporting her away from the group to the point to where they didn't have evasion and could be killed. But now I'm just sitting here missing for eternity and she won't die...

That's basically what my strategy was too, except I didn't have Spider Legs or Glitter Dust to deal with her once she was alone. So I just fireballed and oiled (turning into fire) the entire area and just flew back and forth until she died lol.

First time at 2H I havent spider legs as well, because I didn't pick up Polymorth at all.
Man that was hilarious battle because only thing I can do atm is let her make ice from water around and wait when she runs to attack me and go to knockdown by her own ice xD Was a long trip!

Hahahaha, I love ice. I would have done that but the water from the barrel was already used by them in the fight and I conveniently didn't have my rain spell memorized x_x

Just use oil to slow the target, ice to chill, and clear mind and bless on yourself.

All of the above act as accuracy increases.

Ice has to actually hit a target to cause Chill if I remember correctly. And I had a constant Clear Mind buff on. Too much fire around for Oil to be a thing, sadly. And Bless wasn't an option, as I didn't currently have any source when I started the fight.

Extremly easy fight for mages party. One well-placed artillery plant will execute both Ninyan and her "saviors".

For physical - dog & silent monk start without magic armor. Mind maggots grenade on high-initiative char work like charm, buying you enough time to deal with enemies.

I didn't even know about the evasion. Since was just like "kill the distracted Magisters" or something and I attacked.

AE spells obliterated that encounter for me and all my characters are hybrids (on classic though).

Idk how AE spells would make a difference since they all miss 90% of the time (unless you split them from the Ninyan).

Maybe I have the wrong encounter? I teleported into the graveyard and came around to the gallows, where a NPC said to kill the Magister. The Magister them screamed for help. I 'tactical retreated' my two with crossbows to the platform on the other side of the path. A barrage of spells destroyed several enemies. In a couple rounds the ranged magisters were incapacitied. By then my Red Prince added fire to the mix and I teleported a silent monk enemy down the hill and destroyed it with my crossbows. I am sure I froze at least one enemy.

My team is a ranger/hydro Ifan, a ranger/hydro/aero Lohse, a 1 hander + shield Beast with aero spells and a little geo, and a 1 hander + shield + geo (mostly defensive) + pyro Red Prince. The two melee each have two physical armor restoring spells plus shields up. Ifan and Lohse both have restoration and first aid. Lohse has frost armor and Ifan has both that and soothing cold.

This gives me four knockdown abilities, several shocking, and quite a few freezing spells. That one ice spell that blasts a moderately large radius with no friendly fire ate through magical armor after which I set the whole gallows area on fire iirc. I was level 9 but came out of the first act fairly well geared.

Either I lucked out and pelted her with magic incidentally or I'm talking about a totally different encounter. I am on Classic not Tactician though.

Sounds like the same encounter. I've never played on anything but Tactician though, so I don't know if Ninyan has the evasion aura in Classic or not. But the aura is permanent and gives her and everyone within a sizeable radius a 90% chance to dodge everything, both melee and ranged, whether single or aoe. The only thing I found that doesn't roll against the dodge was Earthquake. (And I used a LOT of different spells and attacks). As they've stated, there are ways to combat dodge, I just didn't have anything other than the Clear Mind buff and I was running a single character game, so no companions. I did end up killing her after throwing her away with teleport to get the aura off of her friends to take them out and then just throwing fireball and such all over the ground and running her through it until she died though lol.

Almost all auras are tactician-only "features" of crap combat design. So you don't see them on classic / explorer.

[Zunnoab #931]

Well if you can teleport her away that sounds like a tactical way to cope with her friends.

Polymorth > spider legs. Melee character will have decent chance to hit her now.

He's dead the neck up. Don't ever trust pooting minion.

[moondust]

There is even a simpler way. I just teleported her to the near nest of tainted chicken eggs and one huge bug. She summoned backup and then they began to kill each other while I slowly disposed of monk and 2 rangers. Then eliminated the rest when they had 20-30% hp.

[Solariceblue]

Uhm, guys... It turned out that one easy way would be to destroy her Magical armor, which is quite easy, and then simply keep her charmed all the time. Then it will be YOU benefiting from her evasive aura, and not her bootlickers :D
After you're done with them, stun/freeze her and have fun.

[Raggle Fraggles]

Damn, you brought back a 2.5 year old thread, my guy. Besides you can just persuade her to leave.
